I go to ye ol' American Film Institute for screenwriterin'. It's
like summer camp for makin' movies, so I'm happy about it.

I am a graduate of Colorado State University, where I
double-majored in English and Journalism.

I once worked a job at Alternative Youth Adventures, which is a
wilderness therapy program for adjudicated youth, followed by my
summer-gig in the Utopia that is Estes Park, CO at Cheley
Camps.

I sometimes 'fast' accidentally, because I forget to eat. Then I
get real hungry. And I eat. A lot.

I like public transportation and wandering around cities.

I like driving around Western Colorado while listening to Townes
Van Zandt.

I like mountains. Seeing them, climbing them, smelling them. I like
the thin air of it all.

I also like playing basketball and dancing. Team Sports that
involve running are good.

I have a neglected 12-string-guitar named Calypso, who now only has
10.5 strings, but I like playing her.

I have a banjo who's in perfect condition, but that's because I
never play him.

I met John Denver backstage at his second-to-last concert, 10 days
before he died. He said "I hope I didn't bore you." I said "Nah
man, it was great."

I absolutely can't stand the taste or smell of bananas. They make
me nauseous. I'm not a picky eater...Rocky Mountain Oysters, Frog
Legs, insects, whatever, I'll eat it. As long as there's no banana
involved.

Wasteland, by Dan Bern, is the best song of the past 15 years (live
version only. The studio version sounds neutered).

Once Upon a Time, I 'M.U.D.'ed. *ouch*

I used to be a track star.

During a 1.5 year span in college, I was popular.

I think a lot of maxims are false, including 'Don't knock it 'till
you've tried it' and 'fair and balanced' and 'Just Do It' and 'got
milk?'

I do believe that 'love conquers all,' but that's because I'm a
hopeless romantic.

Most of the time, I don't take myself very seriously. Most of the
time, you shouldn't, either.

Foosball, monopoly (It's not based on luck alone. I promise...)
Tecmo Superbowl, dancing for long periods of time (usually by
myself...usually in a manner not too dissimilar from that of
RiverDance and/or happy hippie drunken gypsies), and jam-packing my
sentences with paranthetical statements (yay!!!)

a) All things T.S. Eliot, 'specially the Four Quartets. As I Lay
Dying had the best chapter in the history of the Universe. Dante.
b) Royal Tennenbaums, Big Lebowski, Jeremiah Johnson, The Graduate,
Braveheart, Indiana Jones.
c) Dylan, Waits, Denver, Drake, townes Van Zandt, et al.

d) The Island Hopper chicken at the Rainforest Cafe' in Denver
Colorado. Best thing in the history of the universe. Had it once.
Love Italian food, especially Ziti. Tangy Barbecue Sauce and spicy
salsa have a very special effect on me.
